Jeff is a shoe salesman, and he works on commission. This week, there is a special incentive to sell shoes and boots by a certain company. Yesterday, Jeff sold 8 pairs of shoes and 7 pairs of boots, earning $188 in commission. Today, he sold 8 pairs of shoes and 6 pairs of boots, earning a total commission of $168. How much does Jeff earn for the sale of each type of footwear?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 1 Burrito Platter = $58.50 , 1 Taco platter = $12.50

2. One pair of boots = $20 , One pair of shoes = $6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let the cost of one burrito platter be x and one taco platter be y.

4x + 2y = 259 --- Equation 1

4x + 4y = 284 --- Equation 2

Equations 2-1: 4x + 4y - 4x - 2y = 284 - 259

2y = 25

y = 25 ÷ 2

y = 12.50 (Taco platter)

Substitute y = 12.50 into Equation 1:

4x + 2y = 259

4x + 2(12.50) = 259

4x + 25 = 259

4x = 259 - 25

    = 234

x = 234 ÷ 4

x = 58.50 (Burrito platter)

2. Let the cost of one pair of boots be x and one pair of shoes be y.

7x + 8y = 188 --- Equation 1

6x + 8y = 168 --- Equation 2

Equations 1-2: 7x + 8y - 6x - 8y = 188 - 168

x = 20 (Boots)

Substitute x = 20 into Equation 2:

6x + 8y = 168

6(20) + 8y = 168

120 + 8y = 168

8y = 168 - 120

    = 48

y = 48 ÷ 8

y = 6 (Shoes)

work out 1/2 x 7 giving your answer as a mixed number

Answers

Answer:

[tex]4\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is basically saying: what is half of 7, or what is 7 divided by 2?

Based on this, it can be written both of the ways as:

»»  [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] of 7  OR  7 ÷ 2

So, just solve using either one and you’ll get 4.5 or [tex]4\frac{1}{2}[/tex]. But since the question wants the answer to be a mixed number, then choose [tex]4\frac{1}{2}[/tex].

John is buying food for his cat, Fluffy. Fluffy LOVES a fancy wet food which costs $1.50 per day. Fluffy will also tolerate dry food which is $0.75 per day. John wants to spend at most $9.00 on cat food each week

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of days that fluffy eats wet food in a week and y represents the number of days that fluffy eats dry food in a week.

Hence:

x + y = 7                    (1)

Also, John wants to spend at most $9.00 on cat food each week. Hence:

1.5x + 0.75y ≤ 9       (2)

The list of possible points after solving graphically are:

(0,7), (6,0), (0,12) and (5, 2). If x,y > 0, then the point that satisfies the inequality is:

(5, 2) i.e. 5 wet food and 2 dry food

Question 3: Jason
receives $40 from
selling 5 adult tickets
and 8 students tickets.
.write an equation to
represent the situation.

Answers

Answer:

$40 = 5a + 8s

Step-by-step explanation:

For this question all we need to know is that $40 is equal to 5 prices of the adult tickets plus the 8 prices of the student tickets. From here we can just give a variable to each price and make an equation, like so

Let "a" be the price of the adult ticket and

Let "s" be the price of the adult ticket, then....

$40 = 5a + 8s

(Just to make sure you understand I will repeat. 5 comes from he fact hat there were 5 adult tickets sold which means that there is 5 adult ticket prices in the $40, and exactly the same reasoning goes for the student tickets, 8 students tickets were sold which means the is 8 prices of the student ticket inside the $40.)
